The Longest Trip Home: A Memoir
"As he did in Marley, Grogan makes readers feel they have a seat at the family dinner table....4 stars."
--People
John Grogan, author of the phenomenal #1 New York Times bestseller, Marley & Me, once again takes readers into his past, his memories, and his heart in The Longest Trip Home--a funny and poignant memoir of faith, family, and identity. A New York Times bestseller in its own right, The Longest Trip Home has earned glowing accolades from the critics ("Genuinely heartrending," --New York Times "Wry and witty," --Washington Post; "Entertaining, funny, and, best of all, always honest at its core," --St. Louis Post-Dispatch). And, just as Marley & Me was more than simply "a dog book," John Grogan's Longest Trip is much, much more than your typical story of a boy's coming-of-age.

"From the author of Marley & Me (2005), this is an extraordinary memoir of estrangement and reconciliation." -- Booklist
"John Grogan is more like Marley than he might want to believe. An affable, unassuming rabble-rouser, the author who penned a bestseller about his goofy dog gets up to some hilarious antics of his own ... The resulting story is full of humor [and] poignant scenes. -- BookPage
"As he did in Marley, Grogan makes readers feel they have a seat at the family dinner table. He's now a nonpracticing Catholic, but here-to wonderful effect-he confesses all." -- People
